becomes superhuman, becomes as good as you and potentially even better at the task of ML research.

And as a result, the algorithm itself becomes more and more superhuman.

The other is, even if that doesn't happen, if you have a single model, I mean, this is explicitly your vision.

If you have a single model or instances of a model

which are deployed through the economy, doing different jobs, learning how to do those jobs, continually learning on the job, picking up all the skills that any human could pick up, but actually picking them all up at the same time and then amalgamating the learnings.

You basically have a model which functionally becomes super intelligent, even without any sort of recursive self-improvement in software.

Because you now have one model that can do every single job in the economy.

And humans can't merge our minds in the same way.

And so do you expect some sort of intelligence explosion from broad deployment?

Some people in our audience like to read the transcripts instead of listening to the episode.

And so we put a ton of effort into making the transcripts read like they are standalone essays.

The problem is that if you just transcribe a conversation verbatim using a speech-to-text model, it'll be full of all kinds of fits and starts and confusing phrasing.

We mentioned this problem to Labelbox, and they asked if they could take a stab.

Working with them on this is probably the reason that I'm most excited to recommend LabelBox to people.

It wasn't just, oh, hey, tell us what kind of data you need and we'll go get it.

They walked us through the entire process, from helping us identify what kind of data we needed in the first place to assembling a team of expert aligners to generate it.

Even after we got all the data back, Labelbox stayed involved.

They helped us choose the right base model and set up Auto QA on the model's output so that we could tweak and refine it.

And now we have a new transcriber tool that we can use for all our episodes moving forward.

This is just one example of how Labelbox meets their customers at the ideas level and partners with them through their entire journey.
